VBS Recap

More for my own recollection:

Wednesday: Brave juice didn't work, but bribing with screen time did.  I almost gave up again but after a brief break while I nursed Sparkle, Spitfire and Firecracker played bubbles with an angel-mama-friend.  After that, Spitfire went willingly to join her group for recess!

Thursday: We were waiting outside when Spitfire's "tribe leader" arrived and asked Spitfire if she was coming in.  Spitfire ran over to her, grabbed, her hand, and went in.  I stayed for about 10 minutes to be sure she didn't run out of the building and then went home!  Or rather to the zoo with Firecracker and Sparkle!

Friday: Spitfire wanted to do the same routine so we stalked  waited for her "tribe leader" and she went in with her!  That night, there was a show for the parents to see what the children learned all week.  Spitfire was talking about it for days, planning who she was going to invite (EVERYONE) and what she was going to wear (something FANCY).  Once there, she again waited for her "tribe leader" and joined her group.  The first big song, Spitfire carried the sign with their tribe name in a procession.  When it was their turn on stage, she joined them and even sang!  We were so proud as it was a major accomplishment for her!  (She neglected to do the hand movements, but one step at a time) Finally, for the last two songs, she stayed on stage, sang, and did the hand movements!

All in all, it was an emotionally charged week for all of us!  I'd call it a success for sure, even if the first day was a GIANT FAIL.  Blazing Inferno (as my husband would now like to be called after asking him if I could refer to him by his real name...) and I were very proud of the progress Spitfire made this week.
